Sunday:

More and more companies are pushing into the $NVDA (+1.51%) NVIDIA. After Alphabet and Intel, the most valuable company in the world is now also announcing its own AI chips. Microsoft has become the most valuable listed company thanks to Chat GPT and OpenAI and could thus also reduce its dependency. Experts expect annual growth of 25% in the AI chip market by 2029

Monday:

Milei has recently been repeatedly criticized for a variety of reasons. However, his reforms are now paying off for Argentina 🇦🇷. The IMF is satisfied and releases a new loan tranche. Argentina has attracted attention in the past with debt cuts and state bankruptcies. Javier Milei has now cut jobs in the public sector, reduced subsidies and ended social programs.

Contrary to many claims that the location in Germany is not attractive enough, Germany is now reporting a record level of foreign investment. These increased by a third to 34 billion euros. The USA remains the largest investor, followed by Switzerland and then China. However, foreign investors also complain about bureaucracy, comparatively expensive energy and the weak economy in Germany.

Producer prices in the USA 🇺🇸 have risen more sharply than expected. This could postpone a Fed rate cut further and has dampened the euphoria on the stock markets.

Wednesday:

Inflation in the USA 🇺🇸 is easing slightly. In March, inflation stood at 3.5% and in April at 3.4%. This was expected by experts and is therefore not surprising information.

Our moonshot stock $F3C (-4.71%) SFC Energy has made significant gains. Sales increased significantly again in Q1 by 46% to 40.1 million euros. Net profit also grew by more than 100%. The order volume also increased significantly. SFC Energy specializes in fuel cells for power supply.

Friday:

Japan's GDP 🇯🇵 is shrinking. This makes interest rate hikes in Japan less likely again; the last time there was an increase was in 2007. Japan's GDP shrank by 2.0%, significantly more than the 1.5% expected by experts. The central bank in Japan should actually raise interest rates, as the national currency is worth as little as it was last in 1990.

Hello everyone,

Today I would like to introduce you to my portfolio. As you probably know, it's just too much fun to expand my portfolio with new stocks. There are now a few too many, but I still can't really part with my worst-performing stocks ($NVM (+3.42%) , $ENPH (+0.28%) , $WAC (+1.83%) ). I'm hoping that I'll be able to sell them in positive territory at some point, or am I on the wrong track and in your opinion should I sell at a loss and try to make up the loss with other stocks?

I have been investing since the end of 2022 and at 29 years old, I still have a long time to go. My strategy is to be as desertified as possible in sectors and to beat the market in the long term (just let me believe that it works :D), hence so many individual stocks. I want to hold these for many years (esp. $AMZN (-1.7%) , $GOOGL (-5.23%) , $QCOM (+1.7%) , $MSFT (+0.08%) , $V (+1.31%) , $MC (-1.36%) , $SALM (+0.64%) ) but I'm also not too keen to pocket the profits. Are there any stocks in my portfolio that you would view critically for the next few years and would be worth considering selling? Recession and all that...

Priority is on growth, which is reasonably safe, so only a few small caps - but a few bets have to be in there :) ($AIDX (+1.93%) , $NRX (-5.6%) , $ITM (-1.5%) , $F3C (-4.71%) , $MITK (+4.44%) ). But with rather small amounts, probably too small or what do you say?

At the same time, I would also like to claim a €900 allowance via dividends ( $BATS (+0.27%) , $ENB (+2.32%) , $BNPQY , $STLAM (+0.22%) , $ENGI (-0.03%) , $RIO (-0.01%) ) and secure a trade or two.

Recently I have been investing 240€/m in the $XDWD (+1%) and between 200 - 500€/m in individual shares (depending on what is left). Actually, I want to increase the existing shares properly now, but somehow there are always nice entry options in solid companies like $0L2T (+2.12%) , $ZTS (+1.14%) , $ADM (-0.07%) , $PANW (+7.32%) , $ENR (+3.25%) . Help what to do? :D

And then there's also crypto $BTC (+3.98%)
$NEAR (+4.17%)
$ADA (-1.46%)

And Japan, they're doing well too $4063 (+1.39%) , $6501 (+2.79%) , $8001 (-0.28%)

Looking forward to your feedback and advice!

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) leaves the key interest rate at 4.35% as inflation continues to fall. Weak retail sales figures in Australia are strengthening hopes that a rate cut could be imminent. Before today's meeting, some were expecting a further rate hike to get inflation under control.

The retail sector in the EU can look back on a weak year in terms of sales. Sales fell by 1.8%. Despite Christmas sales, revenue in December fell by 1.1% compared to November.

Wednesday:

Our value stock $TMV (-1.8%) Teamviewer presented figures and surprised positively. Sales increased by 11% in the lower range of the forecast. Net profit increased by 66% to 114 million euros. In its forecast for the coming year, Teamviewer expects sales growth of 7 - 11% and an EBITDA margin of 43%.

Thursday:

While the rest of the world is battling inflation, China is struggling with deflation. In January, prices fell by 0.8% compared to the previous month.

Deflation is more dangerous than inflation because investments and consumption are often postponed, which can trigger a negative spiral. For this reason, central banks worldwide also have an inflation target of around 2.0% per year.

$NET (+7.65%) Cloudflare, one of our portfolio stocks, has gained significantly in value. One reason for this is probably the news that Mark Anderson is to become the new President of Revenue. Mark Anderson was previously CEO of Alteryx and before that he helped to significantly increase Palo Alto Networks' revenue. More important, however, is probably the news that Cloudflare was able to increase its free cash flow to 14% of revenue, which increased by 32% over the year. Cloudflare is therefore growing profitably, but with a KCV of around 60, it still has a sporty valuation.

The price of gold rises to a new 6-month high. The previous record high was USD 2075 in 2020. We personally only hold very small amounts of gold. This is because gold is not a productive asset and therefore only fulfills the purpose of risk diversification at best.

Exciting developments at $VOW3 (-1.43%) VW, the Group is valued particularly low on the stock market compared to its competitors. Although VW sells around a third as many electric cars as Tesla, the Group is only worth around a tenth of Tesla on the stock market. In addition, the VW Group sells around five times as many combustion cars as Tesla sells in total. One reason is that VW's margins are too low. The costs are too high, including labor costs. That is why Wolfsburg is now planning job cuts despite billions in profits. The aim is to survive the competition with Tesla in the long term.

Inflation in the eurozone also falls more sharply than expected to 2.4%. Energy prices in particular are falling noticeably. This is just 0.4 percentage points short of the ECB's target inflation rate. Further interest rate hikes are therefore becoming increasingly unlikely. The first interest rate cuts are becoming increasingly likely.

Slight economic growth in Switzerland, GDP increases by 0.3 % in the third quarter. The economy actually contracted slightly in the second quarter.

Monday:

#china Lowers interest rates on one of the central bank's interest rate lines. The one-year loan now costs 3.45% interest instead of 3.55%. China is trying to stimulate the economy with this. The real estate sector in particular is expected to benefit from lower interest rates.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-66567085.amp

$PANW (+7.32%) Palo Alto Networks can surprise the stock market with strong figures. The cybersecurity provider increased sales by 26%. In addition, there was a positive outlook for the full year.

https://www.deraktionaer.de/artikel/aktien/an-diesem-aktionaer-cybersecurity-tipp-fuehrt-kein-weg-vorbei-20337977.html

Good omen for #inflation producer prices fall for the first time since 2020. Producer prices are seen as a harbinger of actual inflation; if producers produce more cheaply, this also depresses the inflation rate in the future. Compared with the previous year, producer prices have fallen by 6.0%, significantly more than the assumed 5.1%.

$9888 (-3.5%) Baidu performs better than expected. The Chinese equivalent of Google increases advertising revenues by 15%.

The construction manufacturer $STO3 (+0.53%) Sto lowers its forecast. Due to poor weather conditions, among other things, full-year sales will probably be slightly lower.

Monday evening $ZM (+3.41%) Zoom still presented figures above analysts' expectations.

After a detailed study of the fundamental data, I have come to the conclusion that there is no great upside potential for this hidden champion at the moment and I have therefore closed the position.

Economy on 22.08.2023...

Nvidia turns up the heat even before the numbers!⤵️

Yesterday, Nvidia with over 8% plus, went out of trading. Reason for this, were some positive rating measures. The share is close to the all-time high and knew only one direction this year. At the beginning of the year, the share stood at 130$ and now stands at just under 470$. Very surprising to me and I congratulate everyone who has been on this great journey. Anyway, Nividia is one of the companies that ran against the market. Just the last week there were big pullbacks. While 2023 is still a positive year (so far), that was quite a big pullback last week. Yesterday, this continued. Of course, this is positive for the bonds.

Also, the Fed stressed yesterday once again, that inflation target of 2%, continues to be the goal and a change in this target, is not necessary.

With the quarterly figures, it is slowly quieter. The big ones have all reported and a few still follow. Among other things, this week is still $NVDA (+1.51%) Nvidia is next. I'm very excited about that. Even though I'm only standing on the sidelines there.

I currently invest only passively in ETFs and continue to accumulate cash. My time is still going into paving my driveway. And there I need probably still 2-3 weeks for. I still have to do my normal job and unlike in many other areas, we currently have a very high order situation in shipbuilding. We now have 15 ships on order and, as purchasing manager, I have a lot to do again. It is still difficult to get some parts or we have very long delivery times. That's why we have to act very early now.

Let's take a quick look at the day today. There is not that much going on, but there are a few exciting numbers coming up today. $F3C (-4.71%) SFC Energy and my main broker: $FTK (-0.97%) Flatexdegiro

Monday:

Signs of #deflation in China 🇨🇳mehren. In June, there was 0% inflation. Deflation is as damaging to the economy as inflation that is too high. With deflation, consumption is stifled. Since it pays more not to spend money and just leave it lying around, people spend less money on consumption. As a result, domestic demand falls and the economy grows more slowly.

Already on Friday, the major bank $UBSG (+0.2%) (UBS) from Switzerland left its assessment for $BOSS (-2.36%) (Hugo Boss) unchanged at "Buy" after a roadshow in which CFO Yves Müller participated, among others. The price target was set at 87 euros. According to analyst Susy Tibaldi, who commented in an available report on Friday, relaxed tones were struck during the roadshow. There were no signs of a slowdown in broad-based sales growth. Then on Saturday, Societe General still raised the price target from EUR 75 to EUR 78. The rating is still left at 'Hold'. Finally, this morning JPMorgan raised the price target from EUR 76 to EUR 82. The rating remains at 'Overweight'.

Tuesday:

Harmonized #consumer prices (comparable across the EU) increase to 6.8% year-on-year in Germany. Main reason are the effects of the EUR 9 ticket and the fuel price discount, which were introduced in June 2022.

Corporate profits in Germany have increased at an above-average rate in recent years. While unit profits have increased by 24% since 2019, unit labor costs have increased by only 13%. The #OECD stresses the high difference between unit labor costs and unit profits allows further wage increases to spread the cost of inflation more evenly.

$$F3C (-4.71%) (SFC Energy) has received a follow-up order from the Netherlands. The company will supply EFOY Pro fuel cells worth approximately EUR 2.5 million to BauWatch, a leading service provider for temporary monitoring applications in Central Europe. Approximately €2 million of the order value will be recognized in sales in the current fiscal year, while the remaining amount will be recognized in 2024. The fuel cells supplied by SFC Energy will be deployed by BauWatch in camera towers mainly used for monitoring construction sites. The camera systems enable real-time tracking of construction progress remotely while increasing protection against criminal activity. BauWatch's security applications are also used in wind farms, solar farms and infrastructure projects. Each camera tower is equipped with batteries and solar panels for power supply. As an intelligent power generator, the EFOY Pro fuel cell monitors the battery's state of charge and automatically switches on to continuously recharge the battery if the voltage drops due to weather-related influences. The fuel cell then switches back to standby mode.

Thursday:

After Lanxess, Evonik and Clariant, must also. $BAS (-1.23%) (BASF) lower its forecast. The main reason is that the recovery in China fails to materialize for the time being and Germany has already slipped into a technical recession. However, this has probably already been priced in, and the share is hardly losing any ground.

The chemical sector is considered a leading indicator for economic development. There have been forecast adjustments, but BASF is expected to remain profitable this year.

No special statements in the minutes of the #ECB meeting. The assumption is that the current interest rate level may not yet be sufficient to curb inflation.

Friday:

Telecom equipment maker $ERIC A (+0.13%) (Ericsson) continues to struggle with a weak phase in its network business. In addition, the tightened austerity measures are weighing heavily on results. In the second quarter, the Swedish company posted a net loss of around 600 million Swedish kronor (52 million euros), it announced in Stockholm on Friday. That compares with a profit of just under 4.7 billion kronor a year earlier. Analysts, however, had expected an even worse result. Group CEO Börje Ekholm does not expect an improvement until the end of the year. Ericsson is suffering mainly from the reluctance of large mobile network operators to invest early in new technologies related to the 5G mobile standard and are now reducing their inventories. In the last quarter, sales in the network division fell by 13 percent, excluding acquisitions, disposals and currency effects. Performance was particularly weak in the United States. Successful business in India, where Ericsson has now become the market leader, could not compensate for this. Total Group revenue increased slightly by 3 percent to 64.4 billion kronor due to an acquisition.
